Nexstar Broadcasting has agreed to purchase WCWJ-TV, The CW affiliate in Jacksonville, Fla. from Media General, for undisclosed terms. The deal, announced Wednesday (Jan. 28) will give Nexstar its first station in the state of Florida and bring the total number of TV stations in its portfolio to 52.
